The standard deposit insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each business relationship ownership category.

The FDIC insures deposits that a person holds in one insured banking company separately from whatever deposits that the person owns in another separately chartered insured bank. For case, if a person has a certificate of deposit at Bank A and has a certificate of deposit at Depository financial institution B, the amounts would each be insured separately up to $250,000. Funds deposited in separate branches of the same insured bank are not separately insured.

The FDIC provides separate insurance coverage for funds depositors may accept in dissimilar categories of legal ownership. The FDIC refers to these different categories as "ownership categories." This means that a banking concern client who has multiple accounts may authorize for more than than $250,000 in insurance coverage if the client's funds are deposited in different ownership categories and the requirements for each ownership category are met.

Ownership Categories

This section describes the post-obit FDIC ownership categories and the requirements a depositor must encounter to qualify for insurance coverage to a higher place $250,000 at one insured bank.

Single Accounts
Certain Retirement Accounts
Joint Accounts
Revocable Trust Accounts
Irrevocable Trust Accounts
Employee Benefit Plan Accounts
Corporation/Partnership/Unincorporated Clan Accounts
Government Accounts

Single Accounts

A single account is a eolith owned by one person. This ownership category includes:

An account held in one person's name simply, provided the owner has not designated whatever beneficiary (ies) who are entitled to receive the funds when the account owner dies
An account established for one person by an agent, nominee, guardian, custodian, or conservator, including Uniform Transfers to Minors Deed accounts, escrow accounts and brokered eolith accounts
An account held in the name of a business organisation that is a sole proprietorship (for example, a "Doing Business As" or DBA account)
An account established for or representing a deceased person's funds—usually known every bit a decedent's estate account
A grantor's retained interest in an irrevocable trust
An account that fails to qualify for dissever coverage under another ownership category

If an account title identifies only ane possessor, but some other person has the right to withdraw funds from the account (due east.m., equally Power of Chaser or custodian), the FDIC will insure the account as a single ownership business relationship.

The FDIC adds together all single accounts endemic by the same person at the same banking company and insures the total upwards to $250,000.

Note on Beneficiaries: Assuming all record-keeping requirements for a revocable trust at the depository financial institution are met, if the owner of a unmarried account has designated one or more beneficiaries who volition receive the deposit when the account owner dies, the business relationship would be insured as a revocable trust business relationship.

Example 1: Single Account

Account Title	Eolith Type	Business relationship Residue
Marci Jones	MMDA	$fifteen,000
Marci Jones	Savings	$20,000
Marci Jones	CD	$200,000
Marci's Memories (A Sole Proprietorship)	Checking	$25,000
Total		$260,000
Corporeality Insured		$250,000
Amount Uninsured		$ten,000

Caption

Marci Jones has four single accounts at the same insured bank, including i account in the name of her business concern, which is a sole proprietorship. The FDIC insures deposits owned by a sole proprietorship as the single account of the business possessor. The FDIC combines the four accounts, which equal $260,000, and insures the total residual up to $250,000, leaving $10,000 uninsured.

Certain Retirement Accounts

A retirement account is insured nether the Certain Retirement Accounts ownership category only if the account qualifies as ane of the post-obit:

Individual Retirement Business relationship (IRA):
- Traditional IRA
- Roth IRA
- Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA
- Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees (Uncomplicated) IRA
Cocky-directed defined contribution program account includes
- Self-directed 401(k) plan
- Self-directed SIMPLE IRA held in the grade of a 401(thousand) plan
- Self-directed defined contribution profit-sharing plan
Cocky-directed Keogh program account (or H.R.10 program account) designed for self-employed individuals
Section 457 deferred compensation plan business relationship, such as an eligible deferred bounty plan provided past state and local governments regardless of whether the plan is cocky-directed

The FDIC adds together all retirement accounts listed to a higher place endemic by the same person at the same insured depository financial institution and insures the full corporeality upwards to $250,000.

The FDIC defines the term "self-directed" to mean that plan participants accept the right to direct how the money is invested, including the power to straight that deposits be placed at an FDIC-insured bank.

The FDIC will consider an account to be self-directed if the participant of the retirement program has the right to cull a detail banking concern's deposit accounts as an investment option. For instance:

If a programme has deposit accounts at a particular insured depository financial institution equally its default investment selection, then the FDIC would deem the plan to be cocky-directed for insurance coverage purposes because, by inaction, the participant has directed the placement of such deposits
If a plan consists only of a single employer/employee, and the employer establishes the plan with a single investment option of deposit accounts at a particular insured bank, and so the program would be considered self-directed for insurance coverage purposes

The following types of deposits exercise non authorize every bit Certain Retirement Accounts:

A plan for which the only investment vehicle is the deposit accounts of a particular bank, then that participants have no option of investments
Eolith accounts established under section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (annuity contracts for certain employees of public schools, tax-exempt organizations and ministers), which are insured equally Employee Benefit Plan accounts
Defined-do good plan deposits (plans for which the benefits are determined past an employee'southward compensation, years of service and age), which are insured equally Employee Benefit Plan accounts
Defined contribution plans that are not self-directed, which are insured as Employee Benefit Plan Accounts
Coverdell Instruction Savings Accounts (formerly known as Instruction IRAs), Health Savings Accounts or Medical Savings Accounts (encounter the section on Unique Ownership Situations for guidance on the deposit insurance coverage)

Note on Beneficiaries: While some self-directed retirement Accounts, like IRAs, let the owner to name one or more beneficiaries, the being of beneficiaries does not increment the available insurance coverage.

Instance two: Certain Retirement Accounts

Account Championship	Account Remainder
Bob Johnson'south Roth IRA	$110,000
Bob Johnson's IRA	$75,000
Total	$185,000
Amount Insured	$185,000
Amount Uninsured	$0

Caption

Bob Johnson has 2 different types of retirement accounts that authorize as Certain Retirement Accounts at the same insured bank. The FDIC adds together the deposits in both accounts, which equal $185,000. Since Bob's total in all certain retirement accounts at the same bank is less than $250,000, his IRA deposits are fully insured.

Articulation Accounts

A joint account is a deposit owned by two or more people. FDIC insurance covers joint accounts owned in any manner conforming to applicative country law, such as joint tenants with right of survivorship, tenants by the entirety and tenants in common.

To qualify for insurance coverage nether this ownership category, all of the post-obit requirements must be met:

All co-owners must be living people. Legal entities such as corporations, trusts, estates or partnerships are non eligible for joint account coverage.
All co-owners must have equal rights to withdraw deposits from the account. For example, if one co-possessor can withdraw deposits on his or her signature alone but the other co-owner can withdraw deposits only with the signature of both co-owners, the co-owners would not take equal withdrawal rights.
All co-owners have personally signed, which may include signing electronically, a eolith account signature carte, or alternatively, the insured bank has information in its eolith business relationship records establishing co-ownership of the business relationship. This requirement does non apply to CDs or accounts established by an agent, nominee, guardian, custodian, executor or conservator.

If all of these requirements are met, each co-possessor's shares of every joint account that he or she owns at the same insured depository financial institution are added together and the total is insured up to $250,000.

The FDIC assumes that all co-owners' shares are equal unless the deposit account records state otherwise.

The residuum of a joint account can exceed $250,000 and even so be fully insured. For example, if the same two co-owners jointly own both a $350,000 CD and a $150,000 savings account at the aforementioned insured banking company, the 2 accounts would be added together and insured up to $500,000, providing up to $250,000 in insurance coverage for each co-possessor. This instance assumes that the two co-owners have no other joint accounts at the bank.

At that place is no kinship requirement for joint account coverage. Any 2 or more people that co-own funds tin qualify for insurance coverage in the joint account ownership category provided the requirements listed higher up are met.

Insurance coverage of articulation accounts is not increased by rearranging the owners' names or Social Security numbers or changing the styling of their names. Alternate the utilize of "or," "and" or "and/or" to carve up the names of co-owners in a joint business relationship title too does not affect the amount of insurance coverage provided.

Note on Beneficiaries: Bold all record-keeping requirements for a revocable trust at the depository financial institution are met, if the co-owners of a jointly held account have designated one or more than beneficiaries who will receive the deposit when the co-owners die, the account would be insured as a revocable trust account.

Example 3: Articulation Accounts

Account Title	Deposit Type	Business relationship Rest	Share Per Owner
Mary and John Smith	MMDA	$230,000	$115,000
Mary or John Smith	Savings	$250,000	$125,000
Mary or John or Robert Smith	CD	$270,000	$90,000
Total		$750,000

Insurance Coverage for Each Owner is Calculated equally Follows:

Owners	Total of All Ownership Shares	Corporeality Insured	Amount Uninsured
Mary	$330,000	$250,000	$lxxx,000
John	$330,000	$250,000	$80,000
Robert	$90,000	$90,000	0
Total	$750,000	$590,000	$160,000

Explanation

The full amount in each joint business relationship is divided by the number of co-owners.
Mary'southward ownership share in all joint accounts equals 1/2 of the MMDA account ($115,000), 1/2 of the savings account ($125,000), and 1/iii of the CD ($90,000), for a total of $330,000. Since her coverage in the joint account ownership category is limited to $250,000, $80,000 is uninsured.
John'southward ownership share in all joint accounts is the same as Mary's, so $lxxx,000 of John's deposits is uninsured.
Robert's ownership share in all joint accounts equals 1/three of the CD, or $90,000, so his share is fully insured.

Revocable Trust Accounts

This department explains FDIC insurance coverage for revocable trust accounts, and is not intended as manor planning communication or guidance. Depositors should contact a legal or fiscal counselor for assistance with estate planning.

A revocable trust account is a deposit account owned by one or more people that identifies i or more beneficiaries who will receive the deposits upon the death of the possessor(due south). A revocable trust can exist revoked, terminated or changed at whatsoever time, at the discretion of the owner(s). In this section, the term "owner" ways the grantor, settlor, or trustor of the revocable trust.

When calculating deposit insurance coverage, the designation of trustees, co-trustees and successor trustees is not relevant. They are administrators and are not considered in calculating deposit insurance coverage.

This buying category includes both informal and formal revocable trusts:

Informal revocable trusts—often called payable on expiry, Totten trust, in trust for, or as trustee for accounts—are created when the account owner signs an understanding, usually office of the depository financial institution's signature card, directing the bank to transfer the funds in the account to one or more named beneficiaries upon the owner's death.
Formal revocable trusts—known as living or family trusts—are written trusts created for estate planning purposes. The possessor controls the deposits and other assets in the trust during his or her lifetime. The agreement establishes that the deposits are to be paid to one or more identified beneficiaries upon the owner's expiry. The trust more often than not becomes irrevocable upon the owner's expiry.

Coverage and Requirements for Revocable Trust Accounts

In full general, the owner of a revocable trust business relationship is insured up to $250,000 for each unique beneficiary, if all of the following requirements are met:

The business relationship title at the bank must bespeak that the account is held pursuant to a trust relationship. This rule tin can be met past using the terms payable on death (or POD), in trust for (or ITF), as trustee for (or ATF), living trust, family trust, or any similar language, including merely having the give-and-take "trust" in the account title. The account title includes data independent in the bank's electronic deposit account records.
The beneficiaries must be named in either the deposit business relationship records of the bank (for informal revocable trusts) or identified in the formal revocable trust document. For a formal trust agreement, it is acceptable for the trust to use language such every bit "my effect" or other commonly used legal terms to describe the designated beneficiaries, provided the specific names and number of eligible beneficiaries can exist determined.
To qualify every bit an eligible beneficiary, the beneficiary must be a living person, a charity or a non-profit organization. If a charity or non-turn a profit organisation is named as casher, information technology must qualify equally such nether Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations.

An account must meet all of the to a higher place requirements to exist insured under the revocable trust ownership category. Typically, if any of the above requirements are not met, the entire amount in the account, or the portion of the account that does non qualify, is added to the owner'due south other single accounts, if any, at the same banking concern and insured up to $250,000. If the trust has multiple co-owners, each owner's share of the non-qualifying amount would be treated as his or her single ownership account.

Insurance coverage for revocable trust accounts is calculated differently depending on the number of beneficiaries named by the owner, the beneficiaries' interests and the corporeality of the eolith.

Two calculation methods are used to decide insurance coverage of revocable trust accounts: ane method is used only when a revocable trust owner has five or fewer unique beneficiaries; the other method is used simply when an owner has six or more unique beneficiaries.

If a trust has more than ane owner, each owner's insurance coverage is calculated separately.

Revocable Trust Insurance Coverage - Five or Fewer Unique Beneficiaries

When a revocable trust owner names five or fewer beneficiaries, the owner's trust deposits are insured up to $250,000 for each unique beneficiary.

This rule applies to the combined interests of all beneficiaries the owner has named in all formal and breezy revocable trust accounts at the same bank. When there are five or fewer beneficiaries, maximum deposit insurance coverage for each trust possessor is adamant past multiplying $250,000 times the number of unique beneficiaries, regardless of the dollar amount or pct allotted to each unique beneficiary. Therefore, a revocable trust with one owner and five unique beneficiaries is insured upwards to $ane,250,000.

Maximum Insurance Coverage for a Trust Owner when there are Five or Fewer Unique Beneficiaries:

Number of Unique Beneficiaries	Maximum Deposit Insurance Coverage
1 Casher	$250,000
ii Beneficiary	$500,000
3 Beneficiary	$750,000
4 Beneficiary	$1,000,000
5 Casher	$1,250,000

Instance 4: POD Accounts for 1 Possessor when there are 5 or Fewer Unique Beneficiaries

Business relationship Title	Owner	Beneficiaries	Deposit Blazon	Account Rest
John Jones POD	John	Jack, Janet	MMDA	$10,000
John Jones POD	John	Jack, Janet	Savings	$xx,000
John Jones POD	John	Jack, Janet	CD	$470,000
Total				$500,000
Amount Insured				$500,000
Amount Uninsured				$0

Explanation

John Jones has three revocable trust accounts at the same insured bank. For each of these accounts, John has named the same two unique beneficiaries. Maximum insurance coverage for these accounts is calculated equally: one owner times two beneficiaries times $250,000 equals $500,000. John Jones is fully insured because his total balance does non exceed $500,000.

Case v: Multiple Revocable Trust Accounts with Five or Fewer Unique Beneficiaries

Account Number	Business relationship Possessor(southward)	Business relationship Beneficiaries	Account Balance
ane	Paul & Lisa Li (Living Trust)	John and Sharon Li	$700,000
two	Lisa Li (POD)	Sharon and Neb Li	$450,000

Owners	Beneficiaries	Owner's Share	Amount Insured	Amount Uninsured
Paul	John, Sharon	$350,000	$350,000	$0
Lisa	John, Sharon, Bill	$800,000	$750,000	$50,000
Total		$1,150,000	$1,100,000	$50,000

Explanation

When a revocable trust owner names 5 or fewer beneficiaries, the owner'southward share of each trust account is added together and the owner receives upwards to $250,000 in insurance coverage for each unique beneficiary.

Paul'southward share: $350,000 (l% of Account i)
Lisa'south share: $800,000 (50% of Account 1 and 100% of Business relationship 2)

Because Paul named ii unique beneficiaries, his maximum insurance coverage is $500,000 ($250,000 times ii beneficiaries). Since his share of Account one- $350,000 - is less than $500,000, he is fully insured.

Because Lisa has named three unique beneficiaries betwixt Accounts ane and two, her maximum insurance coverage is $750,000 ($250,000 times 3 beneficiaries). Since her share of both accounts - $800,000 – exceeds $750,000, she is uninsured for $50,000.

Revocable Trust Insurance Coverage - Six or More Unique Beneficiaries

Equal Beneficial Interests

When a revocable trust owner names six or more unique beneficiaries, and all the beneficiaries have an equal interest in the trust (i.e., every beneficiary receives exactly the same amount), the insurance calculation is the same as for revocable trusts that name five or fewer beneficiaries. The trust owner receives insurance coverage upward to $250,000 for each unique casher. As shown below, with i owner and vi beneficiaries, with equal beneficial interests, the possessor's maximum insurance coverage is upwards to $1,500,000.

Maximum Insurance Coverage for Each Revocable Trust Owner when in that location are Six or More Unique Beneficiaries with Equal Beneficial Interests:

Number of Unique Beneficiaries	Maximum Deposit Insurance Coverage
6 Beneficiaries with Equal Interests	$1,500,000
vii Beneficiaries with Equal Interests	$1,750,000
8 Beneficiaries with Equal Interests	$ii,000,000
9 Beneficiaries with Equal Interests	$ii,250,000
10+ Beneficiaries with Equal Interests	Add together upwards to $250,000 for each additional unique beneficiary

Unequal Beneficial Interests

When a revocable trust owner names six or more than beneficiaries and the beneficiaries do not have equal beneficial interests (i.e., they receive different amounts), the owner'south revocable trust deposits are insured for the greater of either: (ane) the sum of each beneficiary'south actual interest in the revocable trust deposits up to $250,000 for each unique beneficiary, or (2) a minimum coverage amount of $1,250,000.

Determining insurance coverage of a revocable trust that has six or more unique beneficiaries whose interests are unequal can be complex. For information on coverage beyond the minimum coverage amount of $one,250,000 per possessor, please contact the FDIC for assistance using the contact information at the end of this brochure.

FDIC Fast Fact:

An owner who identifies a casher equally having a life estate interest in a formal revocable trust is entitled to insurance coverage upwardly to $250,000 for that casher. A life manor beneficiary is a beneficiary who has the right to receive income from the trust or to utilize trust deposits during the beneficiary'south lifetime, where other beneficiaries receive the remaining trust deposits after the life manor beneficiary dies.

For example, a married man is the sole owner of a living trust that gives his wife a life estate interest in the trust deposits, with the remainder going to their two children upon his wife's expiry. Maximum insurance coverage for this account is calculated equally follows: one owner times $250,000 times iii different beneficiaries equals $750,000.

Irrevocable Trust Accounts

Irrevocable trust accounts are deposit accounts held in connection with a trust established by statute or a written trust understanding in which the possessor (also referred to every bit a grantor, settlor or trustor) contributes deposits or other property to the trust and gives upwardly all power to cancel or modify the trust. An irrevocable trust besides may come into beingness upon the death of an owner of a revocable trust.

A revocable trust account that becomes an irrevocable trust business relationship due to the expiry of the trust owner may continue to be insured under the rules for revocable trusts. Therefore, in such cases, the rules in the revocable trust section may be used to determine coverage.

The interests of a beneficiary in all eolith accounts under an irrevocable trust established by the same settlor and held at the same insured depository financial institution are added together and insured up to $250,000, merely if all of the following requirements are met:

The trust must be valid under state police force
The insured banking concern'southward deposit account records must disclose the existence of the trust human relationship
The beneficiaries and their interests in the trust must be identifiable from the depository financial institution'southward eolith account records or from the trustee's records
The amount of each casher's interest must not be contingent every bit defined by FDIC regulations

If the owner retains an interest in the trust, then the amount of the owner'due south retained involvement would be added to the owner's other single accounts, if whatsoever, at the same insured bank and the full insured upwards to $250,000.

For example, if the grantor of an irrevocable trust is even so living, and the trust provides that trust assets can either exist used by the grantor or by a trustee on behalf of the grantor, the grantor would be accounted to accept a retained involvement. Thus, this irrevocable trust account would not be insured nether the irrevocable trust ownership category, but as a single ownership deposit of the grantor. The residual of the account would be added together with any other single buying accounts the grantor has at the same depository financial institution, and the full would be insured up to $250,000.

FDIC Fast Fact:

Since irrevocable trusts ordinarily incorporate weather that affect the interests of the beneficiaries or provide a trustee or a beneficiary with the authorization to invade the principal, insurance coverage for an irrevocable trust account usually is limited to $250,000.

An possessor or trustee of an irrevocable trust account who is unsure of the provisions of the trust should consult a legal or financial advisor.

Employee Benefit Programme Accounts

An employee benefit plan account is a deposit of a pension plan, defined do good program or other employee benefit plan that is not self-directed. An business relationship insured nether this category must meet the definition of an employee benefit plan in section 3(iii) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Human activity (ERISA) of 1974, with the exception of plans that qualify under the Certain Retirement Business relationship ownership category. The FDIC does non insure the plan itself, but insures the deposit accounts endemic by the plan.

Additional requirements for coverage:

The investment and direction decisions relating to the account must be controlled by a programme administrator (not self-directed past the participant).
The plan ambassador must maintain documentation supporting the programme and the beneficial interest of the participants
The business relationship must be properly titled equally an employee benefit business relationship with the bank
- When all of these requirements are met, the FDIC will insure each participant'south interest in the plan up to $250,000, separately from whatever accounts the employer or employee may accept in the same FDIC insured institution. The FDIC often refers to this coverage as "pass-through coverage" because the insurance coverage passes through the employer (amanuensis) that established the account to the employee who is considered the owner of the funds.

Even when plans qualify for pass-through coverage, insurance coverage cannot exist determined merely by multiplying the number of participants by $250,000 because plan participants frequently have different interests in the programme.

To determine the maximum amount a plan can accept on eolith in a unmarried bank and remain fully insured, the plan administrator must first identify the participant who has the largest share of the plan avails, and calculate the participant's share as a percent of overall program assets. So, the program ambassador must divide $250,000 by that percentage to arrive at the maximum fully insured corporeality that a plan tin can take on deposit at one bank.

Example 6: Employee Benefit Plan that Qualifies for Pass-Through Coverage

The Happy Pet Vet Clinic has a turn a profit-sharing programme for its employees

Account Title	Balance
Happy Pet Vet Clinic Do good Program	$700,000

Plan Participants	Programme Share	Share of Deposit	Amount Insured	Corporeality Uninsured
Dr. Todd	35%	$245,000	$245,000	$0
Dr. Jones	30%	$210,000	$210,000	$0
Tech Evans	20%	$140,000	$140,000	$0
Tech Barnes	15%	$105,000	$105,000	$0
Plan Total	100%	$700,000	$700,000	$0

Explanation

This employee benefit plan's $700,000 deposit is fully insured. Because Dr. Todd's share of the $700,000 deposit (35% of $700,000 = $245,000) is less than $250,000, and all of the other participants' shares of the deposit also are less than $250,000, the entire eolith is insured.

To determine the maximum amount this employee benefit plan can deposit at 1 banking concern and ensure all of the funds are fully covered, $250,000 should be divided by the percentage share of the plan participant with the largest involvement in the programme. In this example, the maximum fully insured balance for this plan is $714,285. This amount is calculated as follows: $250,000 divided past 35% or 0.35 = $714,285.

Programme participants who want to know more about how an employee do good plan's deposits are insured should consult with the plan ambassador.

FDIC Fast Fact:

Employee benefit plan deposits that do non qualify for pass-through coverage, such as health and welfare plans, are insured up to $250,000 per bank. Health and welfare plans usually do not authorize for pass-through coverage considering the interests of the participants are not ascertainable. A participant will receive payments from the plan based on claims he or she files independent of any specific buying involvement in the plan.

Corporation/Partnership/Unincorporated Association Accounts

Deposits endemic by corporations, partnerships, and unincorporated associations, including for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, are insured under the same ownership category. Such deposits are insured separately from the personal deposits of the system's owners, stockholders, partners or members.

Unincorporated associations typically insured under this category include churches and other religious organizations, community and civic organizations and social clubs.

To qualify for insurance coverage under this ownership category, a corporation, partnership or unincorporated association must exist engaged in an "independent action," meaning that the entity is operated primarily for some purpose other than to increase deposit insurance coverage.

All deposits endemic by a corporation, partnership, or unincorporated clan at the same banking concern are combined and insured up to $250,000.

Accounts endemic past the same corporation, partnership, or unincorporated association but designated for different purposes are not separately insured.

For example, if a corporation has both an operating business relationship and a reserve business relationship at the same bank, the FDIC would add together both accounts together and insure the deposits upwards to $250,000. Similarly, if a corporation has divisions or units that are not separately incorporated, the FDIC would combine the eolith accounts of those divisions or units with whatever other deposit accounts of the corporation at the bank and the total would be insured upwardly to $250,000.

The number of partners, members, stockholders or account signatories established past a corporation, partnership or unincorporated association does non touch on insurance coverage.

For instance, the FDIC insures deposits owned past a homeowners' association at i insured banking concern up to $250,000 in total, not $250,000 for each fellow member of the association.

FDIC Fast Fact:

Accounts held in the proper name of a sole proprietorship are not insured nether this ownership category. Rather, they are insured as the single account deposits of the owner, added to the owner's other single accounts, if whatsoever, at the aforementioned banking company and the full insured up to $250,000.

Government Accounts

The category known as government accounts (besides called Public Unit accounts) includes eolith accounts endemic by:

The U.s.a., including federal agencies

Frequently Asked Questions

Bank Changes

CDs that mature during the vi-month catamenia and are renewed for the aforementioned term and in the same dollar amount (either with or without accrued interest) continue to be separately insured until the first maturity date after the six-month catamenia.
